I'm 5'9" 145 and I have brand new 2013 line chronics not even mounted yet. They are 171 and come up tiny nose. I almost wish I went with 2013 domains. I would really appreciate some advice. I live in New York Nd ski all park. 60% rails and no jumps over 40. Plus k. Thanks

I think the domains would be better for you. I have been doing a little research becuase i am getting new skis and it seams that the domains are more for rails. But if you ski all over the mountain, I would stick with the chronics.

Damn. If they were 178's I would have bought them off you right now so you could get Domains. Lol.

5'8" but I weigh almost 190 (I lift bro, lol)

I have the 11-12 Chronics in 178 but wouldn't mind having another set I could center mount with different bindings. My 11-12 are getting pretty beat already and my Griffons are on their last leg already and this is my first season on them. I'm actually looking at Domains right now online...lol

Not sure how I feel about the jib rocker though as I like to hit groomers in the morning then lap the park in the afternoon. I just feel I want to keep with a slightly cambered ski for those groomer runs.

I'm also in NY. Where do you ride?

Domains are a very good ski inside the park and outside the park, they even rip on the groomers with there symetrix al shaoe, and im 5'9 and riding the 179s since they have a little rocker, but if I were u send the chronics back and get the domans!!!!!! P.s u should get them in a 174 based on ur riding, height, weight and ability

so the domains aren't bad all mountain also? What about he midwest where the runs are shorter. I am like 65% park 35% all mountain. I will probably get into the park more since there not much all mountain in the midwest. Would they be good?
